THE EXCURSION TRAINS.

The excursion trains for the race left here
at $40, and returning left New London at
9:15 in the midst of a grand explosion of
fireworks, cannon crackers and a general
jubilee, which was more or less continued at
every station along the route and on board
the train itself. The train had seventeen
cars, each of them packed full of passengers
and the standing room and car steps densely
occupied. At Fair Haven, east side, dem
onstration was progressing as the train hove
in sight and until that passed. At the de-

GUS crowd of people was in waiting, and
there was immense enthusiasm. The train

in on another special few minutes later.

SHOWING HIS FAITH BY HIS
WORKS.

Some months since Professors
McCreath and D'Invillicrs were
employed by the Norfolk and West
ern Railroad Company to examine
and make report on the coal and
minerals of Southwest Virginia.
The report was read with wonder
and almost incredulity in the North
and in Europe, SO very rich in
mineral was the section made to
appear.
However after returning home
Prof. D'Inyilliers comes back to
make Investments for himself in
thiswonderfuI undeveloped wealth.
Through Mr.. j. V. Kelly, Of this
place, he has, within the past few
weeks, purchased about 10000
acres Of land along the northern

"A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

On Tuesday last Mr.. Frank Moss,
of Burks Garden, well known cit
izen, came home from trip in a
very unsettled state of mind, de-
claring that he had seen blood on
the roadside where some one had
been killed. On Wednesday morn
Ing he induced one Mr.. Newman
to go with him to the point indi-
Gated that he might look for the
supposed murderer. He had been
allowed to arm himself with rifle
and when OF the mountain side
near Sharon, in Bland county, he
suddenly fired and killed John
Dickson, a cOlored boy, who pass
cd along the road. John lived at
this place and was the mail carrier
ON the route between here and
Wytheville. The boy was making
his daily trip when he was thus
shot down without warning.
Mr.. Moss came on to town imme-
diatcly with two friends WHO were
depntiscd as sconstables to keep
him under arrest. The three then
went back. to the garden, Mr.. Moss

home. While OH the streets here
he seemed perfectly rational and
collected, accosting his friends so
naturally that they suspected moth
ing.
On Thursday Mr.. Moss came
back to town in company with his
brothers rand the constablcs. He
wasA adiudged insane, and this
morning was taken to the asylum
at Marion. =.
The case is one truly distressing.
The mother of the dead boy is in a
pitiable state Of grief, and her own
life i'll danger. The family and
friends of Mr.. Moss are, if possible,
even more troubled. The brothers
of Frank Moss have done every
thing they could to alleviate the
misery of the boys mother. They
had the body brought to town and
turned over to the undertaken to
be given proper burial.
Mr.. Moss own Interpretation of
the ailair'is that it was an acct
dent. lie says he was convinced
that some one had been murdered
on the spot, that he was STOPPING
over intcntly examining the blood
when lie heard the Losc Of some
one approaching, and looking up
and seeing the boy, it flashed over
him that there was the murderer.
He says the boy, who was walking
along and leading his horse, called
to him that he was the mail boy,
but too late, as the ball had start
ed.
He was unwilling to be taken
to Marion, insisting that he
was as sane as any man, that
the killing was purely accidental
for which he is very sorry.
lie has been for some years sub
jcct to temporary alteration of
mind, but never exhibiting it when
quietly at home on his farm. He
is well known as one Of the Moss
brothers, who are extensive cattle
dealers, and among the best citi-
zcns of Virginia.

'IRGINIA SAVED AGAIN.
TIE SUPREME COURT REvERsEs
THE DECISION OF JUDGE
BOND.

Following close after the late
election and just as the new Lcgis-
Nlature meets, there comes a decision
from the Supreme Court of the
United States that is big with the
greatest interest 10 YirginianS. So
interesting is it that we give much
space to it below.
WASHINGTON, Dec. "a dcci-
sion was rendered by the United
States Supreme Court this after
noon in the Virginia habens corpus
cases of Attorney General Ayers
and Commonwealth Attorneys
Scott and McCabe, who were I'M
prisOned by order of Judge Bond,
of the United States Circuit Court,
for disobrdicnce to restraining
order forbidding them to bring
snits for the collection of taxes in
cases where tenders have been
made of tax receivable coupons
cut from State bonds. This court,
in q very long and elaborate OpIn-
ion by Justice Matthews, holds
that the suit in which Judge Bond
issued the restraining order in the
Circuit Court, although nominally
a suit against individuals, is in
reality a suit against the State of
Virginia, and as such forbidden by
the eleventh amendment to the
Federal Constitution, that the
United States Circuit Court had.
therefore, no authority to enter
tain such suit; that in so doing,
and in issuing restraining order
to prevent the officers of the State
from discharging their duties un-
der the laws of the State, Judge
Bond was acting without constitu-
tlonS warrant, and thai the re-
strainihg order and all subsequent
proceedings under it, inclu,lingthe
arrest and imprisonment Of the pc
.titioners, were illegal and without
authority. The court, therefore,
directs that the petitioners, Attor-
ney General Ayers and Common
wealth's Attorneys Scott and Nc
s9Cabe, be at once discharged. The
opinion, which is that of the whole
court, with the exception of Justice
Harlan, who dissents, sustains the
State of Virginia at all l.oints, and
virtually declares that State, as
n political sovereignty, cannot be
sued nor coerced in the Federal
courts, either by an action brought
against her by name, or by an ac-
ton brought against her officers in
their official capacity. The court
declares that the eleventh amend
ment establishes a distinction be
tween contracts made by individu-
alswith each other and with State.
The latter class cannot be enforced
by the remedies used to enforce
the former. That is by suits in
the United States Courts, and they
therefore are without sanction, OK.
cept in so far as such sanction is
given to them by the honor and
good faith of the contracting State.
Such State may consent to be sued
in its own courts, or in Federal
courts, for breach ofcontract, but
it may at any time withdraw such
consent and resume its sovereignty
and it cannot then be iudicially
coerced at the request of an indi
yidual.

More Horrible Revelations.

LONDON, June L. Since the revela-
tons made by the Pal Null Gazette and
the passage Of the criminal law amend
ment bill. the public have believed traffic
in children impossible. A case in Lam
beth police court, therefore, caused a uni
versal sensation ofhorror. Edward Prock-
nell and three women have been arrested,
charged with keeping houses of i'll repute
and having procured for their patrons
scores of girls from 10 to IA years of age.
The prisoners and their victims are all of
humble rank. The evidence so far shows
that the seducers of the girls belong to the
same class. The government will prose-
cute the prisoners, all of whom we're re-
manded. Detective Stevens, of the Re-
formatory Union, who has taken the prin-
cipal part in bringing to light these crimes,
states that during the past four years, he
has rescued 400 girls between the ages OF
] G TO IA years of age from lives of crime.

KING Kalakua's Cunning.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 7.-Advices
from Honolulu show that the new war
ship Kamaiols, which constitutes the
Hawaiian navy, has sailed from Sumoa.
The ship cost the government 500. 900.
Prior to sailing three officers of the navy
were dismissed for misconduct and fight
ing, and the boatswain deserted with his
uniform The shipfinally sailed May is.
The Honolulu Gazette renews its at
tack on the king, for alleged bribery in
the opium matter. 1t presents sixty
afidavits from four people. These charge
that the king, on December 20, received
$20,O 600 in a basket; a few days later a
check for $40, 900 was handed to the king
personally; a few days later again $780,
900 in gold coin within a baked pig was
given the king personally, and subse-
quently SIS, 900 more was demanded and
paid the king by a Chinaman named
Aki. The king, it is claimed, in return
promised to grant Aki a license for selling
opium, but gave it TO another Chinaman
named Chun Lung. 1t is claimed that
none Of Axis money has been returned,
and the matter is now in the hands of the
Chinese minister at Washington.

The Long and Short Haul.

WASHINGTON, June Woodruff SUIT
ton, of New York, has protested to the
interstate m commission against
the suspension of the long and short haul
clause of the law in favor of transcontinen-
tai railroads. Sutton & Co. are engaged
in the Clipper transportation around the
continent, and in behalf of the Clipper
lines it is stated that t-ranscontinental roads
have made war pon them. 1t is alleged
that the roads require shippers to enter
into a contract to ship all overland freights
by rail and that inducements were held
u to contractors by offering lower rates
on freight than those accorded the general
public. Sutton expresses the belief hat
the Pacific Mail Steamship company is
interested with the railroad companies in
the effort to secure a suspension of the
4th section of the law, the object being to
crush out the Clipper line competition.
